The lesbian tide; a feminist publication, written by and for the rising tide of women today volume 7, number 2 Sept/Oct 1977

The Tide Collective, Los Angeles. 1977, 40p. including covers, 8.25x11 inches, illustrations, newsprint stock, very good magazine in pastebound pictorial wraps. AKA The Tide. This was the first national lesbian-oriented newspaper in the US. It began in 1971 as a newsletter for the Los Angeles chapter of the Daughters of Bilitis but the editor Jeanne Cordova and other editorial staff decided to take a more radical stance and split from the DOB in December of 1972. They toyed with renaming the magazine/newspaper simply The Tide in 1973 but returned almost immediately to Lesbian Tide.
